SilverStone Technology XE04-SP5
Overview
High-Performance Air Cooling for AMD EPYC 9004/9005
The SilverStone Technology XE04-SP5 is a tower-style air cooler engineered specifically for AMD SP5 socket platforms, including EPYC 9004 (Genoa) and 9005 (Turin) series processors. It delivers exceptional thermal performance for high-TDP CPUs, supporting up to 360W+ continuous loads, making it an ideal choice for servers, workstations, and high-performance computing environments.
Key Features
- Dual 140mm PWM Fans: Two high-static-pressure fans provide up to 180 CFM of combined airflow, ensuring efficient heat dissipation even under heavy workloads.
- Eight Heat Pipes: Eight nickel-plated copper heat pipes rapidly transfer heat from the CPU to the aluminum fin array, maximizing cooling efficiency.
- Full Copper Base: A precision-milled copper base ensures optimal contact with the CPU IHS, improving thermal transfer.
- PWM Control: Fans operate from 0 to 1800 RPM, allowing for silent operation at idle and powerful cooling when needed.
- Compact Design: With a height of only 128mm, the XE04-SP5 fits in most 2U server chassis and space-constrained workstation cases.
Performance and Reliability
Engineered for sustained heavy workloads, the XE04-SP5 maintains stable temperatures even when pushing EPYC processors to their limits. The combination of eight heat pipes, a dense fin stack, and dual 140mm fans ensures that your CPU stays cool under all conditions, reducing the risk of thermal throttling and improving system stability.
Who Is It For?
This cooler is perfect for IT professionals, system integrators, and enthusiasts building or upgrading AMD EPYC-based systems. Whether you're running virtualization, AI/ML training, or scientific simulations, the XE04-SP5 provides the cooling headroom needed for maximum performance.
Easy Installation
The XE04-SP5 includes a secure mounting mechanism designed for AMD SP5 platforms, ensuring a hassle-free installation process. The included thermal paste and clear instructions make setup straightforward for both new builds and upgrades.
Backed by SilverStone's reputation for quality, the XE04-SP5 is a reliable and efficient cooling solution for your AMD EPYC server or workstation.
